IT’S BEEN half a century since President John F. Kennedy was assassinated, and much of the government documents surrounding that horrible day still are under lock and key.

Many of these investigative documents are being held by the Central Intelligence Agency. Because of the secrecy surrounding the documents, there are those who believe that a grand conspiracy involving the agency was committed.

Only release of all the files will tamp down those beliefs.

The government under JFK successor Lyndon Johnson decided to seal records of that fateful day “to protect” the Kennedy children. But now their son is dead and their daughter is a successful woman.
